Acknowledgments 



The authors thank to Carlos Jara for the collaboration 

 in the identification of crustaceans prey. This study was 

 realized under the sponsorship of D.I. D. (Direccion de 

 Investigacion y Desarrollo) of the Universidad Austral 

 de Chile (Project D-2003-09). M.T.G. was supported by 

 a CONICYT fellowship of the Chilean Government.
